The qualities of solitude, silence and stillness are not anathema to the craft of the landscapist, but central to the required vision, they are qualities inherent in the vista. Miriam Jarrs’ exemplary paintings reinforces this perspective in her new show Gleaming h at the Sesame Gallery, Angel. Yet within this stillness there is a movement of sorts, Jarrs’ work remains true to its own inner forces, contains a coherence of elements – there is a subtle gravity, a breeze blows gently off stage binding the entire collection, the skies swarm with a green that is oddly restful.
